I discovered the Law offices of Richard M. Renkin and Associates through a web search on Family Law practitioners in the San Diego area. I approached Richard and he explained what he thought were my best options during the initial consultation. We developed a strategy and Richard handled my case professionally to a successful conclusion. Everything was up-front and there were no hidden fees or other surprises in the process. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking Family Law legal services.

My ex and I split up when our minor daughter was 13. I had a nasty custody battle with him where he wouldn't allow me to see her. I was worried that her academic and social life would be affected. Rich helped me fought this case. One of the best advice Rich gave me was to move near my daughter's school, which I did. Moving across the street from her school made it really convenient for her. Although the court awarded a 50/50 custody, my daughter stayed with me almost 100% of the time. She just recently graduated #3 among her 2014 graduating class of 541 students and the top 1% in the San Diego School District. Thank you Rich for all your help!

This firm is incredible! From the front desk staff to the attorneys, everyone makes you feel right at home in your most troubling times. In particular, my interactions with attorney Leo Arzumanyan have been fantastic. Leo is attentive, responsive and highly motivated. Above all else, Leo has a knack for impeccable legal writing. If you’re in need of attorneys who will dedicate their time to winning, I strongly recommend hiring the law firm of Antonyan Miranda.

Joe is not your typical attorney. We were referred to Joe Carnohan by a friend, The case had become extremely difficult over the first year with a different attorney. Joe took the case and did an amazing job. Not only was he knowledgeable but professional and presented his case extremely well. We were very impressed when one of the judges acknowledged his ability to make difficult cases work in the pass and wanted to know what was so different about this case. Joe explained and we one that hearing. Joe has a history of taking difficult cases and getting everybody to work together. He took our case, in the middle and still did an outstanding job!! His legal assistant, Michelle, also outstanding, and always there. Both were very helpful in easing the emotions, explaining how everything works and what to expect. They are more than just another legal office. Joe was Amazing in presentation, and logic in all matters. He always knew what was most important and never lost focus. Wish he had been our first and only attorney and would Highly Recommend him to anyone.

Second time I've worked with this law firm, specifically Mr. Matteson. On my own personal experience Scott and Matteson Family Law have worked in the most professional manner. They respond fast to all phone calls, message, etc. Mr. Matteson is on top of his game! Straight forward type of lawyer that will guide the case to the right path. Even though my case was dismissed on my behalf he always kept me on the loop as to what evidence is needed on my part to prove a compelling case. If I have to go back to family court again I will definitely hire Mr. Matteson again. Thank you!

Jason jumped right in and within days I had all the necessary paperwork filed. Jason was professional, responsive, explained everything to me in detail on a level that I could understand and at the end of my divorce I walked away with everything. Having your whole world turned upside down in a matter of seconds, knowing your future will never be the same, it’s nice to have an attorney on your side that navigates you through the process, so when you come out on the other end you feel that you have the strength and building blocks to move on.

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! I initially spoke to Zephyr Hill who agreed to be my attorney. However, when he sent me the retainer agreement he switched me without notice to Michael Steiner- WHO IS A HORRIBLE ATTORNEY! I should have dropped them then. Basically Steiner would respond to emails and phone calls sporadically at best and when you speak to him he seems to have his mind elsewhere. The last straw was when he agreed to file an ex parte on my behalf, however, after I followed up with him days later he tells me " I decided not to file it." No explanation for not communicating this to me. I will be filing a complaint with the state bar. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

In the middle of a crisis, like a divorce where you need a lawyer, you need someone who can help you make sense of just about everything. Lowenstein Brown does just that! Michele and Liz are an incredible team, and they have a wonderful support staff! They focus on your goals and what you want (they like to point out “it is your life, and when we are gone you have to be happy with this”). They lay out the process and expectations very clearly. They work well with support counsel and outside specialists. You expect your lawyers to be good at the law – it was a wonderful experience to find two people who also have great compassion and sensitivity to what you are going through. They care and it shows in how they and their staff treat you from the first meeting to the last. I highly recommend Michele Lowenstein and Liz Brown.

Liz Brown represented my ex (I was pro per at the time), and lied to the judge about ownership of my daughter's college account. She told the judge that it was owned jointly by my husband and me, attempting to seize the funds for reunification costs. After I retained counsel, my lawyer was able to show the judge the documentation (which the judge himself had signed a few months prior) that proved that the college account was legally owned by my daughter. My ex was fined $2,000 for the lie. Liz Brown was not honest, inflicting on me an unnecessary court hearing to have to fight for my daughter's college fund. I would never recommend this lawyer, unless you want someone willing to lie and cheat for you.

I researched and spoke with several law firms before carefully selecting Lowenstein Brown. I needed to be certain that the firm I selected could handle a complicated family matter. In my first meeting with Michele, Liz and their support staff, I knew I had selected the very best attorneys to handle my case. Their ability to communicate the necessary steps, combined with their empathy and compassion, were more than I could possibly have hoped for. The entire staff was available any time I had a question or concern. Where the opposing counsel was sloppy and slow, Michele and Liz were fastidious and timely. If you are uncertain about who to select to represent you, look no further, Lowenstein Brown is the firm I would highly recommend.

Then it became an visitation rights issue and again with professional assistance from both Attys now we able to have a peace of mind. We have interviewed couple of lawyers but decided to hire them because we felt comfortable talking to them and gave us the real scope of the case with no promises. Also, the staff are very professional especially Katina. They are in constant contact with us with changes or need for more information.

I highly recommend Tara Yelman and her team. I used Yelman & Associates in my divorce. She was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her billing to be transparent and highly efficient. I found her to always be better prepared than her opposing counsel. She was always the one to recommend creative ways to resolve negotiation sticking points. And her knowledge of the law and judicial procedure in court was outstanding -- helping to shorten the process and work with me and my ex to find solutions that worked for both of us. Even after the proceedings, she has provided ongoing guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post divorce -- which has been crucial in helping my family move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend.

Hands down all the way for Tara Yelman. She was g-d sent. A true attorney who wants the best for their client. I've met with other lawyers prior to retaining her. There are a lot of attorneys who are just there for your money and don't want to work hard including after hours, holidays, weekends. They just want to settle and take the easy way out. Unlike, Tara she put her 110% into your case and her expert advice is incredible. She's worth every PENNY! She works nights, weekends and even holidays if there is something serious. Remember folks, stuff happens when its after "office hours" or you get served for an Emergency hearing on Friday at 4 pm to appear in court on Monday or Tuesday morning. You have to be ready for whatever comes your way! Tara ,you are the best including your right hand Geoff and others!!

I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years. I've seen the quality of the arguments made on my behalf and Sara always had clear thoughts and rational behavior with opposing counsel and the court. The team at Yelman did great work. Most important in this process is the cost. Clients are often driven apart by their lawyers, which benefits only the firms involved. Trust me -- I experienced this before Yelman, as did my ex. Sara did not inflame for the benefit of further court actions (and therefore fees). She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions. Moving to Yelman over the past 4 years was the best financial choice I made over this extraordinarily challenging phase of my life. I am so grateful for their representation and guidance, and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michelle Paul was nothing was ever "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce process from start to finish, Michelle kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Even though I filed for divorce, 6 months later I had a change of heart and decided to have Michelle stop the divorce two weeks before going to court. Michelle listened and was very supportive of my decision, and worked quickly with the other councilor to resolve all remaining issues. I highly recommend Michelle Paul! Todd Hurt, Retired Navy

Another outstanding job for Michelle Paul and her team. Michelle and her team were my legal representation in 2017 when she pulled an almost impossible task to gain custody of my 2 kids and a move away outside the United States. We enjoyed Japan for 3 years and we owe it to her and her team. We have been state side for two weeks. Today she accomplished yet another challenging task in our court teleconference. She terminated spousal support completely; along with additional custody time share in our favor. Words CANNOT describe the impact she has made to our lives. Highly recommended.

Alana at Braunstein Law was simply amazing at explaining all my options and providing me with needed council through an emotional time. Her professionalism, knowledge of the law and responsiveness were second to none and I will definitely keep her contact information. It has been a few years and my life is much better to day because of what my amazing attorney did for me. i have recommended her multiple times to some of the acquaintances i have going through a divorce or some sort of domestic litigation. If you truly need someone on your side at a difficult time I would highly recommend Alana at Braunstein Law. DC

It was a pleasure working with Braunstein LAW, APC on my divorce. We had a consensual divorce, uncontested. However, we also had an unusual custom alimony arrangement to make it so. Alana made the process no fuzz, and made it within the deadline to still get the old tax laws. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that my anxiety early on in the process was high, and it sometimes felt that responsiveness did not match my anxiety. However, in hindsight, I think this was more my problem than theirs. It all was done such as to be maximally efficient, and minimally waste my or their time. I'd go back to them if I had another legal issue.
